I’ve perfected my Costco runs to be under 10 minutes. Here are 11 staples I buy for my family of 4.

Amylu is one of my favorite brands, so I always like to see which products Costco is carrying. The grocer often carries the flavorful Amylu chicken meatballs, which I love to cook with rice or pasta.

There are 17 grams of protein in each serving, which is great for crafting easy, well-balanced meals. If the meatballs aren’t there, I’ll often pick up sausages or other meats from Amylu — a brand that has yet to steer us wrong.

Most energy bars I’ve tried don’t taste the best, but the Nature Valley protein chewy bars are an exception. Costco has a lot of options when it comes to protein bars. However, these are my favorite by far.

They have 10 grams of protein per bar, and although that may be a bit lower than other options out there, the delicious taste makes up for it.

The chocolate-and-peanut-butter flavor satisfies my sweet tooth, and the bars are filling enough to get me through school pickup and my kids’ extracurricular activities.

Kirkland Signature fruit-and-vegetable pouches have been a staple in my home since my oldest daughter began eating solid food. Five years later, they’re still a great on-the-go snack for both my girls.

The sugar content is low, and they’re easy to eat and open, making them an ideal snack for school or when they inevitably get hungry five minutes into a car ride.

With so much meat in our cart, it’s important to balance it out with some carbs. The Seeds of Change organic quinoa-and-brown-rice packets can be microwaved quickly to elevate any meal.

I pair the rice with chicken or beef and add a balsamic glaze or dressing for a great adult-only meal. Plus, the kids love these rice packets, too — which is always a win in our book.

As a working mom of two, I don’t have much time to get all my protein in during the day. These Golden Island Korean-barbecue snack bites have quickly become a pantry staple for us.

Not only are they delicious and easy to throw in my bag, but they’re also a good source of protein.

My kids are huge snackers, but I try to keep their snacks as healthy as possible, particularly avoiding red dye.

My girls have been eating the Bear fruit rolls for years and continue to ask for them all the time. Plus, each pack comes with a little animal trading card, making these healthy, delicious, and fun.

If my husband had to pick one item from Costco, it would be these Just Bare breaded-chicken-breast chunks. They taste just like Chick-fil-A nuggets but can be made at home.

One serving of these nuggets has 16 grams of protein and only 6 grams of fat, making them a great option for lunch or dinner.

We often make chicken Caesar wraps with these. I also like to top off our salads with a handful of nuggets to up our protein intake without sacrificing taste.

The That’s It mini fruit bars are the holy grail of kids’ snacks. My kids love all three flavors, and the small size of each bar means none of it goes to waste. Plus, they’re made with just two fruits — and nothing else.

I throw one of these in their snack bags every day, which makes me feel better knowing they’ll have something nutritious to munch on.

With two young kids and two full-time jobs, my husband and I are often exhausted. We like to view Celsius as our parenting sidekick.

I personally love to have a can before my 6:30 a.m. Orange Theory class. My husband loves them as a 3 p.m. pick-me-up before the kids get home.

The variety packs at Costco include our favorite flavors, and they usually have two different flavor-pack options to choose from.

Just like my husband would choose the Just Bare chicken nuggets as his No. 1 item, my kids would choose the Polly-O string cheese as their favorite.

On an average day, my daughters probably each eat about two of these. We always have one as a bedtime snack.

The convenience of the packaging and the large quantity is ideal for us. Plus, each cheese stick has 7 grams of protein, so my husband and I love them too.

My daughter likes to call my turkey sandwiches the “best sandwich in the world.” Although I don’t quite agree with her, the Hillshire Farms turkey is a great option for lunch meat.

I use this to make sandwiches and wraps or for a quick snack with a slice of cheese.
